9 | `./Configure -d` and hit ^C when it asks you if you want to make changes |
| 10 | to config.sh; | |

12 | edit config.sh and do the following: |
| 13 | change d_socket='define' to ='undef'; | |
| 14 | remove SDBM, Errno, and Socket from dynamic_ext= and nonxs_ext=; | |
| c4f23d77 | 15 | |
| 4a34ea11 | 16 | add '#define bool short' to x2p/a2p.h; |

23 | OS RELEASE-SPECIFIC NOTES |
| 24 | ------------------------- | |
| 25 | R4 x86 - dynamic loading finally works! Yay! This means you can compile | |
| 26 | your own modules into perl. However, Sockets and Errno still don't work. | |
| 27 | (Hopefully, sockets will at least work by R5, if not sooner.) | |

29 | R4 PPC - I have not tested this. I rather severely doubt that dynamic |
| 30 | loading will work. (My BeBox is in pieces right now, following a nasty | |
| 31 | disk crash.) You may have to disable dynamic loading to get the thing | |
| 32 | to compile at all. (use `./Configure` without -d, and say 'no' to | |
| 33 | 'Build a shared libperl.so'.) | |
